FARMERS ABE BANQUETED
The business men of The Dalles
gave a banquet lust Thursday night
in honor of the visitors attending the
Farmers' Educational & Cooperative
Union of America's state meetings
The convention proper had enrolled
over 100 official delegates and with
other members from locals in Oregon,
southern. Idaho and with the Wasco
County Union there were more than
500 persons served. Eight large ta
bles completely filled the lower floor
of the Vogt theatre, where the ban
quet was held, and these were covered
with cold turkey, cranberrysauce, cel
ery, pickels and other dishes.
J. D. Brown of Arlington was re
elected president of the Union earlier
in the day and gave a short speech.
"Nick" Sinnott was on hand and gave
a talk showing the need of every man
knowing the possibilities in the soil.
Our old friend A. R. Shumway, was on
hand also and mentioned a few weigh
ty problems which were up to the or
ganization to deal with. One of the
important events was the making of
moving pictures of the banqueters,
which will be shown all over the state
and which will be of interest to Mor
row county people as there were sever
al in attendance.
MORAL SCUAD MEETS AGAIN

the ranking officer in charge. The
first business was brought before the

"Members of the Squad, I want to

It is my opinion that he acted very

things and should be reprimanded for

Corporal Cornet who had been
listening to the speeches then rose to
speak. There was much speculation
as to what he would say. "Well,
members of the Squad, it might seem
